DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 11, the present invention comprises opposing a first V-shaped clamping seat 10 a and a second V-shaped clamping seat 10 b, a first drive means 20, a second drive means 21, a third drive means 22, a transport means 30, an air duct 40, a push rod 41 and a pumping means 50. The first drive means 20 is for driving the first and second clamping seats 10 a, 10 b to mutually open or close.

The transport means 30 is for supplying the collar 60 into to the interior of the ring seat 70. The wall of the air duct 40 has a plurality of pores 40 a. The pumping means 50 is for driving the plurality of pores 40 a of the air duct 40 to inhale or exhaust. The push rod 41 accommodates the air duct 40. The third drive means 22 is for driving the push rod 41 up or down along the axial direction of the air duct 40.

The bag 61 filled with culture medium 1 is delivered to the position between the first and the second clamping seat 10 a, 10 b, and the top portion 611 of the bag 61 is located between the first and the second clamping seats 10 a, 10 b. The transport means 30 transmits the collar 60 into the internal of the ring seat 70. The third drive means 22 drives the air duct 40 through the collar 60 and into the interior of the bag 61 from the opening 610 of the bag 61. The first drive means 20 drives the first and second clamping seats 10 a, 10 b to close to each other, so that the top portion 611 of bag body 61 shrinks and close to the outer surface of the air duct 40, and the pumping means 50 actuates the plurality of pores 40 a to inhale so as to suck the inner wall of the top portion 611 of the bag 61. When the air duct 40 sucks the bag 61 by inhale of the plurality of pores 40 a, the first drive means 20 drives the first and second clamping seats 10 a, 10 b to open with respect to each other, and the third drive means 22 actuates the push rod 41 to move down to push down the collar 60 to sleeve on the top portion 611 of the bag 61. When the collar 60 sleeves on the top portion 611 of the bag 61, the pumping means 50 actuates the plurality of pores 40 a to exhaust so as to blow the top portion 611 of the bag 61 to open. When the top portion 611 of the bag 61 opens, the third drive means 22 actuates the push rod 41 further decline to push the top portion 611 of the bag 61 to fold down. When the top portion 611 of the bag 61 folds down, the second drive means 21 and the third drive means 22 drive the air duct 40 and the push rod 41 to rises, and then the process of the package completes automatically.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 11, the ring seat 70 is shaped in a piper with a cross section in square, has two first opposite walls with a first rib 71 defined thereon and two second opposite walls with a second rib 72 defined thereon for supporting the peripheral edge of the bottom of the collar 60. When the push rod 41 moves down to push the collar 60, the collar 60 is deformed by the first rib 71 and the second rib 72 to pass through the first rib 71 and the second rib 72 and drop down to sleeve on the top portion 611 of the bag 61.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 11, the ring seat 70 is shaped in a piper with a cross section in square, has two first opposite walls with a L-shaped elastic plate 73 defined thereon and two second opposite walls with an elastic ball 74 defined thereon for supporting the peripheral edge of the bottom of the collar 60. When the push rod 41 moves down to push the collar 60, the collar 60 overcomes the elastic force of the L-shaped elastic plate 73 and the elastic force of the elastic ball 74 to pass through the L-shaped elastic plate 73 and the elastic ball 74 and drop down to sleeve on the top portion 611 of the bag 61.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 11, the first V-shaped clamping seat 10 a includes a V-shaped upper clamp jaw 11 and a V-shaped lower clamp jaw 12. When the first V-shaped clamping seat 10 a and the second V-shaped clamping seat 10 b clamp and close to each other, the V-shaped upper clamp jaw 11 and the V-shaped lower clamp jaw 12 position on the top and the bottom of the second V-shaped clamping seat 10 b respectively, so as to shrink the top portion 611 of the bag 61.
